Be it known that l', WILSONFISKB, of Medford, in the 'county of Middlesex and State' of ltlassael`u1sett-s. have invented anew and useful lmprovenwnt in Paix-Blanks, of which i C, C2, andrfrom the corners where 'the creased lines c, c", and c", c* joiln'arerun diagonal creasing lines c5, c, with corresponding diagonal lines c7, c, extending from the cor# ners formed by the junction of the parts A, B, and B1, B These lines approach at substantiall l enable t lese portions (P, of the fumming strlps C2 t-o'be turned upwarr and fit y against the ends of the box.

It willbe noted that the gnmming!` stri mav be made very' narrow compared with t le width of the end pieees, so that the. blanks may be out from a strip or web of material the width oi' thelengt--h of the blank, the blanks B, 'to form' aelosnre for the edges and the corners of thel bottom A where the ends B, Bi, and the. gumming strips (`f-' are. turned in against the bottom A m forming the. box. being entend for end, and the gummmg For this purpose. the ereasingI line c is exstrips of one. lblank lying elose to the end tended as at c, c, across thegununing strips j'pieces 5f the next blank.
